Thoughts: On a raining evening and after 2.5 hours on the road for only about 15 km from the city center; decided to stop at Taman Desa for dinner as it was already 8pm! So, ended up with another Japanese meal. But instead of ordering Set or Bento or Ramen, decided on some Ala-Carte dishes; and its the Chef-recommended
ゴーヤーチャンプルー Goya Chanpuru and 皮剥ぎ(烧橡皮鱼/马面鱼) Kawahagi.
Goya Chanpuru is a stir fried pork belly dish with bitter gourd and tofu. Interestingly this is an 沖繩料理 Okinawan dish and something very much also the influence of US Navy station in Okinawa. Chanpuu is Okinawan for "something mixed" and the word is sometimes used to refer to the culture of Okinawa; and therefore the dish of mixed of stir fry of ingredients such as "spam"/luncheon meat, or fish with tofu and vegetables (like Goya which is winter melon!).
Ordered "皮剥ぎ(烧橡皮鱼/马面鱼) Kawahagi" to go with the warm Sake. Kawahagi is a flat, sand-dwelling fish found in Japan's coastal areas. The fish reaches a length of 8 to 10 inches, and for very long time was Kawahagi is considered a "throwaway" fish by Japanese fishermen! But "throwaway" fish appears in recent years as a Nigiri-zushi, usually topped with its own liver sometimes can be found in high-end Sushi restaurants. Today, however; its grilled/smoked Kawahagi fish skin and perfect for beer or in tonight case, warm Sake in a very wet evening!
ひまわり Himawari is a Japanese restaurant hidden in Taman Desa, less than 100 meteres from Old Klang road (exit into Jalan Desa); and not far from another popular Japanese restaurant, 小屋(日本料理) Koyaku (about 1km). Himawari is located on the upper floor of the shop lot facing Jalan Desa. The restaurant offers 焼き物 Yakimono (grilled), 揚げ物 Agemono (fried), 鍋物 Nabemono (pot), a selection of Ala-Cartes, 丼物 Donburi (rice & side dish in a bowl), and 麺類 Menrui (Noodles).
